She took a deep breath and carefully placed the "evidence" back where it had been, trying to restore it to a state where she had never touched it.
After doing all this, she turned around and walked back to the living room.
The soft sofa supported her slightly stiff body. Bronya closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
Her pearly white teeth unconsciously bit her full lower lip, the torn stockings and dried marks lingering in her mind. (Hook, Luo Ning)
Last night, could it be...?
She tried to stop herself from imagining the specific scene, but the smell of photinia mixed with the sweet and fishy scent of milk seemed to linger around her nose, constantly reminding her of the fact that it had happened.
That little girl, actually…
An indescribable feeling of jealousy surged within her chest.
No, no, I can't get angry with a little girl... I'm the Great Guardian now, I must stay calm, I must be rational.
But the thought that Luo Ning might not have done it willingly, or that she might have been manipulated by the suddenly matured Hook... made her heart feel as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand.
No, we can't just guess.
But the evidence was so obvious.
What should we do next? Should we confront Hook directly? Or talk to Lonin? Neither seems quite appropriate.
Just as Bronya was caught in a dilemma, a commotion came from the direction of the cafeteria downstairs, interrupting her thoughts.
She got up and walked towards the sound.
The restaurant was filled with the sounds of birdsong and lively chatter.
Natasha was holding Luo Ning, sitting at the head of the table, feeding him porridge spoonful by spoonful, like she was soothing a child. Her full breasts pressed gently against the back of Luo Ning's head, making the little boy almost sink in and unable to move.
Seele and Clara flanked Luo Ning, eagerly offering him various exquisite snacks and drinks, afraid that if they were a step too slow, the other would snatch them away.
"Ah~ Open your mouth, little brother Luo Ning, this is sweet and delicious."
With a grin, Seele held up a piece of strawberry cake and eagerly offered it to Luo Ning's lips.
Clara, not to be outdone, picked up a piece of crystal-clear fruit with a small fork and said softly, "Luoning, try this, it's very fresh."
Luo Ning was surrounded by her three older sisters like a star, her face showing a mixture of helplessness and enjoyment, her little mouth busy responding to everyone.
The newcomer, Hook, didn't feed Luo Ning directly like the others, but he stayed to the side, his eyes shining as he watched Luo Ning intently, occasionally interjecting a few words, as if reliving the warmth of last night.
Breonya stood at the restaurant entrance, looking at the harmonious scene before her. Her gaze swept over the older women at the table with a complex mix of emotions, her eyes sharp as ice.
Feeling the death stare from the High Warden, Clara, who had been so cheerful, shrank back like a frightened rabbit, and her movements slowed down.
But Schwarz, standing next to Clara, seemed to sense Bronya's hostility. He raised his arm slightly, and the pair of heavy armors in front of Clara's chest made a metallic scraping sound.
Bronya knew that her current actions were indeed unbecoming of a Great Guardian, and that showing personal emotions in this situation was simply immature.
She suppressed the turmoil in her heart, took a deep breath, and turned to leave the restaurant. In the end, she chose to return to her room.
Pushing open the door, she was surprised to see her mother, Cocolia, sitting on the edge of the bed, clutching a photograph tightly in her hands, her face flushed with an unnatural blush.
Bronya recognized it immediately; it was a photo Luo Ning had given to her mother. Luo Ning in the photo was smiling brightly, looking incredibly cute. Cocolia heard the door open and hurriedly looked up, her previously focused and dreamy eyes instantly becoming flustered.
She was like a child who had done something wrong, frantically trying to hide the photo in her hand, but because she was too flustered, she appeared even more clumsy.
Bronya clearly saw that her mother's fingers were curled up somewhat unnaturally, and the fingertips seemed to be slightly damp. Her mother's cheeks were as red as ripe apples, and her eyes flickered, clearly showing a hint of shyness and unease.
“Daughter…daughter? Why…why did you come in without knocking?” Cocolia stammered, her voice unsteady. “Mother was actually…organizing photos, yes, organizing photos!”
Bronya looked at the tightly wiped photograph in her mother's hand, the unnatural blush on her mother's face, and the slightly flustered look in her eyes, and she already understood.
She stepped forward and gently took her mother's somewhat cold hand.
“It’s alright, Mother,” Bronya said softly, her tone gentle and understanding. “I know you have needs.” Cocolia’s body trembled slightly as she spoke, and she abruptly looked up at her daughter in surprise.
"Because of your status, you can't directly express your feelings to Luo Ning's younger brother, and besides, he has so many other women around him now."
Cocolia's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She hadn't expected her daughter to understand her so well, and even see through her deepest, unspoken desires.
She grasped Bronya's hand in return, and tears welled up in her eyes.
“Bronya,” Cocolia choked, her voice trembling, “you...you really don’t blame Mother?”
“What’s wrong with you?” Bronya gently shook her head and wiped away her mother’s tears with her fingertips. “Everyone has their own needs, and there’s nothing shameful about that.”
Cocolia was so moved that she couldn't speak. She just held her daughter's hand tightly, tears streaming down her face like broken pearls.
The mother and daughter nestled together quietly, silently exchanging their feelings for a moment before Bronya got up and left the room.
It seemed that she had made a firm decision in her heart.
After lunch, Luo Ning was about to rest in his room when Bronya suddenly came in. "Brother Luo Ning, I have something I'd like to ask you."
Bronya got straight to the point, her tone carrying a barely perceptible request.
Luo Ning looked at her with some confusion, wondering what this Great Guardian needed her help with this time.
“It’s like this, Mother…she hasn’t been in a good mood lately.” Bronya hesitated slightly before speaking, “I was thinking…you could go and keep her company, to cheer her up.”
To accompany...to accompany her mother, Cocolia?
Luo Ning paused for a moment, then understood Bronya's meaning. This meant... she wanted her to satisfy Cocolia's needs?
He glanced at Bronya with some surprise, not expecting that this usually aloof and serious Great Guardian, who was often jealous in private, would actually make such a request.
However, since it was Bronya's request and it could help Cocolia, Lonin naturally had no reason to refuse.
He nodded obediently and replied softly, "Okay, Sister Bronya, I'll go." Bronya saw that Luo Ning agreed so readily and a grateful smile appeared on her face.
“Thank you, little brother Luo Ning,” she said softly. “Mother...she really likes you.” With that, Bronya turned and left the room, leaving Luo Ning with a slightly forlorn figure.
Shortly after Bronya left, another figure knocked on Luo Ning's door. "Knock knock knock."
"Please come in," Luo Ning said softly.
The door was pushed open, and walking in was none other than the tall, blonde, blue-eyed Pera.
She wore a smart uniform that accentuated her stunning figure. Her full breasts rose and fell slightly with her breath, and her long, golden hair cascaded smoothly over her shoulders, further highlighting her delicate features and fair skin.
Pera looked down at Luo Ning, who was much shorter than her, a slightly shy smile on her face, and said softly, "Little brother Luo Ning, um... I... I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
That night, the night was gentle.
Bronya tossed and turned in her room, unable to fall asleep.
I asked Luo Ning to keep my mother company during the day, which was well-intentioned, but I still felt a little strange about it.
It's like I've been cheated on? And it's my own mother who's cheated on me! Thinking about it this way, I really am a "great guardian of self-cuckoldry"!
I don't know how my mother and Luo Ning are getting along, or whether my mother's mood has improved.
Just as Big Duck was lost in thought, a soft knocking sound suddenly rang out, "Knock knock."
Bronya sat up abruptly, looking in surprise toward the door.
Who could be knocking on the door so late? Could it be... Luo Ning's younger brother?
A thought struck her, and she quickly got up, walked briskly to the door, and flung it open. Standing outside was indeed Luo Ning.
"Brother Luo Ning?!" Bronya's eyes widened in shock. "You... how did you get into my room? Didn't I ask you to go and keep Mother company tonight?"
Before she could finish speaking, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her. "Bronya? Who are you talking to?"
Cocolia's voice came from deep within the room, and then a figure slowly emerged from the darkness. It was Bronya's mother, Cocolia.
Bronya was completely stunned, her mind went blank. She looked at Lonin standing at the door, then at her mother coming out of the room, completely bewildered as to what had happened.
Looking at the dumbfounded Bronya, Luo Ning gave a slightly shy yet proud smile.
“Sister Bronya, it’s like this,” Lonin explained softly, “After you left, your mother also came to me and asked me to go and meet your needs.”
"She said... she noticed you didn't seem to be in a good mood during the day, and wanted me to... keep you company and cheer you up." "I never imagined that you two, mother and daughter, were so close and caring towards each other. It's truly touching."
"So I thought, since that's the case, why not go through the trouble a little longer and satisfy both of your needs at once, so that you two won't have to be so modest with each other anymore."
After Ning finished speaking, an innocent smile appeared on her face, as if she had done something amazing. Bronya and Cocolia stood there, completely petrified.
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with an extremely complex mix of emotions: shock, bewilderment, emotion, and shame—a turbulent storm churning within them.
However... the fact that the mother and daughter were fighting together still made Cocolia and Bronya feel a little embarrassed.
Chapter 131 Luo Ning: You don't want others to know about this either, do you?
(Thanks to Xixi for the lucky bag)
Cocolia looked at the suggestion before her and was momentarily stunned.
This little rascal Luo Ning actually wants... to have an all-night talk with her daughter?
Should this thought be voiced? Is it too serious, or too shocking? No wonder they say children speak without restraint, but this is just too unrestrained!
This greatly shocked Cocolia, the former Great Guardian, and her cheeks involuntarily flushed red.
She did have ulterior motives when she first approached Luo Ning, hoping he could use his unique power of abundance to soothe her daughter, Bronya, who had been feeling uneasy lately.
After all, it's understandable that she would feel a bit overwhelmed when such a heavy burden suddenly fell on her shoulders.
But now, this child has turned around and set his sights on her, and even wants to drag Bronya along? Absurd, utterly absurd!
However, deep in my heart, in a corner that had been suppressed for a long time, this suggestion stirred slightly.
The immense power and strange sensations he had briefly experienced during the great battle, emanating from Luo Ning's personal sword, were now beginning to sprout from the depths of his heart, like seeds he had sown there.
After all, even the well-informed Cocolia had never imagined that a seemingly gentle and weak little boy like Luo Ning would possess such a deadly weapon.
Moreover, he was defeated by Luo Ning himself!
Although it was incredibly shameful to recall, that feeling of pleasure lingered in Cocolia's mind, refusing to dissipate. A person's bottom line is often breached step by step when temptation and a way out coexist.
Now, Luo Ning has taken the initiative, it's late at night, and the location is her daughter's room. Everything seems to point to secrecy and safety. As long as a fourth person doesn't find out.
Bronya would remain the respected Great Guardian, and she... could once again receive that long-awaited solace. But if she refused, when would the next opportunity come? How long could she truly endure that agonizing emptiness and longing?
“No… No, it won’t work.” Cocolia’s voice trembled slightly, her last shred of reason making her put up a final resistance. She looked at her daughter, whose face was already flushed with embarrassment, and said, “Even if I… I agree, Bronya won’t agree.”
This is less a rejection and more a deliberate attempt to defer to someone who is hopeful.
Luo Ning immediately turned his clear gaze to Bronya, his voice soft and gentle like a young boy's, making it impossible for the older sister to refuse: "Sister Bronya, do you agree?"
Bronya's body stiffened, her pearly teeth biting her lower lip tightly, unable to utter a single word.
How could she possibly answer? To agree to such an absurd request in front of her mother?
The identity of the Great Guardian, the identity of her daughter, and the stirrings and desires for Luo Ning deep within her heart were all clashing violently. She could only stand frozen in place, instinctively wrapping her arms around her astonishingly full breasts, her cheeks burning hot as if they were about to bleed.
Luo Ning opened her innocent big eyes and spoke softly again, her words seemingly carrying a magic: "Sister Bronya, you don't want Mother to suffer like this every night, do you?"
The word "torture" was like a needle, precisely piercing the softest spot in Bronya's heart.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at her mother's face, which was trying to remain calm but couldn't hide her longing. Yes, her mother... perhaps she was also enduring a lot of untold pain.
After all, Bronya herself had experienced Luo Ning's Half-Life Sword and couldn't forget it, which was why she made a special trip to the lower city. Rather than inspecting the lower district, it was more accurate to say she came to find Luo Ning.
Therefore, as a woman herself, Bronya felt great sympathy for her mother. That's why, when she saw her mother comforting herself alone during the day, she went to ask her brother, Lonning, to help take care of her mother all night.
Ultimately, shame, intertwined with some complex emotions, led her to make a compromise.
Her voice was barely audible, with a thick nasal tone, "Brother Luo Ning... then you... you cover my eyes... I'll just lie there... you... just don't take the blindfold off."
As long as it's unseen, perhaps... it can be pretended never happened. This tacit consent, tinged with tears, was like the opening of the final floodgate.
Cocolia's last remaining line of defense, called "Antelope's Will," completely collapsed.
Almost instantly, she turned and found a soft strip of cloth, gently but undeniably blindfolding her daughter Bronya. Having done this, she turned to face Lorne, took a deep breath, and then reached out to begin blindfolding the seemingly frail girl.
The little boy was forced to take off his coat.
When the imposing sword, far exceeding its age, was revealed, Cocolia's breathing quickened slightly. She leaned down, her warm breath brushing against Luo Ning's delicate skin.
Her jade-like hands trembled slightly as she gently stroked his flat, soft chest. Then, without hesitation, she pressed her lips to his, her tongue tentatively licking as if savoring the most tempting honey.
Bronya, blindfolded and surrounded by darkness, had an unusually sharp hearing.
The sound of her mother's breathing, the soft sound of her kisses, reached her ears clearly. An indescribable shame and heat swept over her.
Just then, she felt a warm, moist touch emanating from her proud, imposing fortress. Was it her younger brother, Luo Ning, who knew of her own deep longing and had come to help?
The thought flashed through Bronya's mind, and she instinctively reached out her arms, wanting to wrap them around the other person's neck, seeking some comfort. However, the touch from her fingertips made her stiffen.
